Ik heb dit boek een hele tijd geleden gekocht omdat ik dacht, dat het 'het verhaal als in de film' zou zijn. Niets was echter minder waar.
Ja, het verhaal stond erin, alleen op een toneelstuk-manier. Beschreven scenes, cameraposities etc. Ik kon er niet veel mee. Daarnaast waren er veel reacties opgenomen van het publiek. Hoe de film ontvangen werd, wat men ervan vond.
Het was in mijn beleving meer een naslagwerk dan een boek om te lezen en ik kwam er niet doorheen.

If you seek the truth, you will find it. If you have a brain in your head you will accept the truth. The majority of this country would rather believe a president who is a liar, thief and murderer.

Michael Francis Moore was born April 23, 1954 in Flint Michigan. After dropping out of the University of Michigan following his freshman year (where he wrote for the student newspaper The Michigan Times), Moore worked at the local Buick plant. At 22 he founded the alternative weekly magazine The Flint Voice, which soon changed its name to The show more Michigan Voice as it grew to cover the entire state. In 1986, when Moore became the editor of Mother Jones, a liberal political magazine, he moved to California and The Michigan Voice was shut down. Moore has been active in promoting his political views. Moore was a high-profile guest at both the 2004 Democratic National Convention and the 2004 Republican National Convention. He has directed and produced several documentaries such as Roger and Me, The Big One, Bowling for Columbine, Fahrenheit 9/11 and Capitalism: A Love Story. Between 1994 and 1995, he directed and hosted the BBC television series TV Nation, which followed the format of news magazine shows but covered topics they avoid. His other major series was The Awful Truth, which satirized actions by big corporations and politicians. In 1999 Moore won the Hugh M. Hefner First Amendment Award in Arts and Entertainment, for being the executive producer and host of The Awful Truth, where he was also described as "muckraker, author and documentary filmmaker".

- Quotations*
- Een sterk bewijs leveren is iets anders dan overspoelen met propaganda. FOX TV doet het laatste, Michael Moore het eerste. (John Berger over Fahrenheit 9/11).
Een film kan grappig zijn, dat is op zichzelf al voldoende. Bij... (show all) sommige films huil ik, bij andere lach ik. Sommige films verontrusten me, andere brengen me in vervoering. Deze film deed dat allemaal tegelijk. (Quentin Tarantino, voorzitter van de jury Cannes 2004). - Last words
- (Click to show. Warning: May contain spoilers.)It allowed too few people to usurp too much power: 21st-century market-capitalism, American-style, will fail for the same reasons.
